What's New in Version 1.4.2
OmniFocus 1.4.2 for iPad is a maintenance release. It addresses a problem that could, in rare situations, cause attachments to become inaccessible and custom perspective icons to be ignored until the OmniFocus database was rebuilt.

Half an organizer
I'm a university professor. Like many universities across the nation, my university is encouraging its staff to adopt iPads. Several of my colleagues asked me my advice concerning tasks and project management. I've used Pocket Informant for a couple years, but purchased OF recently and was looking forward to better efficiency.
I was disappointed. The developers have put a lot of commendable work into task management and workflow, but have neglected some key issues in other areas.
1. No integration with exchange server or outlook. OS5 can access exchange tasks but OF lives in a silo, cut off from them. There are several cheap apps that will synch exchange tasks but these are little more than lists. OF could corner the market if they realized this.
2. The most significant inbox in most of our lives is the email inbox. OF is isolated from here too. I receive dozens of emails for department heads, students, colleagues, etc each day that require action. Some can be answered immediately but most need to be attached to a project or addressing later. I could switch apps and add a action item but I typically need the body, date, sender, etc. of the email for reference or archival purposes. I need to re-read these when I set to work on them or follow links embedded in them. There is no Send to OnmiFocus function anywhere. In the email app or in any other app. The body of the email can be selected, copied, and pasted but the header info is missing and is cumbersome. The Safari applet is a gimmick by the way. It simply copies the link address, not any content. Who works with a bookmarked web page?
3. most critically: the interface for adding a task is trivial.
a) It is cumbersome to set start and due dates using the roller (use a calendar selector, so one can see at a glance what day to work on on something)
b) It is not possible to repeat something more than once in a cycle (such as on Tue AND Thur each week) as it is in Outlook and Pocket Informant etc.
c) there is no end repeat setting, so you can stop a recurring task (at the end of the semester for example) unless you delete/drop it manually.
d) I dislike switching tab after tab to complete an action item. Make this more efficient by placing the definition, context, dates, and notes on one page.
Pocket Informant has limitations but I'm stuck with it until some of this addressed. OF is the most expensive app on my iPad and not worth it, yet... The have been so absorbed mimicking the GTD framework for task management they forgot that task workflow is only as good as the information and thoroughness of the tasks that are there in the first place. Right now it is hard to port information to the program and represent it.
Well integrated across iOS and OS X
I use OmniFocus on the Mac, iPhone and iPad. Although the iPad is my favorite version, I love them all. They are all beautiful and sync seamlessly with the Omni server. Well done!
An easy to use app to optimize time
Any GTD based app walks a fine line in the time it takes to manage your tasks and recording things to get done. I have tried numerous apps and they did not follow the easy to use concept like OmniFocus. I wish I had just paid the $ for his app versus trying out numerous $2 to $12 apps. This app is excellent in getting items from your brain recorded quickly to be remembered when you are in the right context(grocery store, team meeting, discussions with boss,etc).
Based on my metrics on productivity before OmniFocus and currently, I show am more efficient using OmniFocus.
